- Remain calm while you try to locate the tooth.
- Pick up the tooth gently, being careful to handle it by its crown and not by its roots.
- Gently remove any debris from the tooth. Do not scrub or use any cleaning agents on the tooth.
- Look for fractures in the roots. If there are no fractures, carefully replace the tooth in its socket or keep it moist in a glass of milk or water. If no milk or water is available, place the tooth in the mouth next to the cheek.
- See a dentist immediately, preferably within 30 minutes
